When Jiang Feng returned to Luochuan, he did not raise any troops, but his prefecture-level aura had already been known to everyone in Luochuan with just a little exposure. Law enforcement elder Wang Xiandao and general affairs elder Zheng Luda were the first to greet him. Seeing that Jiang Feng's cultivation level had improved.
A state that made both of them happy and worried. The Qianshan Sect has not reached this state for several generations.
After chatting for a long time, Jiang Feng agreed to Zheng Luda's request to hold a small Taoist discussion meeting to explain his experience in promotion. However, he was troubled by other things, so he set the time for seven days to meet Leng Tingtao in Tuqiao Town before making arrangements.
"Since Zheng Yiyu and Wang Yanzhi have both advanced to the Xuan level, we will arrange a small Tao discussion meeting as soon as possible. All the Spirit level disciples in the sect will participate."
"Yes, Master, the Chief of Ceremonies and I will make overall arrangements for this." Zheng Luda took the initiative to take over the job. The two Xuan-level students are his and Wang Xiandao's juniors. It is an honor to be promoted to the Xuan-level.
He was naturally happy to arrange this matter, "However, the leader, shouldn't your Tao discussion meeting also involve all the Xuan-level monks in the sect, so that we can make progress?"
"That's fine," although I want to keep a low profile. After all, I am using elixirs to improve myself, and it is the lowest grade first-grade golden elixir. However, I can still share with you the experience of establishing an elixir theory in advance, accumulating experience, and keeping the Tao heart clear through passing through.
Everyone, Jiang Feng also had the idea of helping the disciples in the sect, so he did not refuse, "Arrange carefully, keep the time confidential, and don't spread it, especially the four counties. Don't let the defense be empty and others take advantage of it. The Seven Alliance
Although the war has ceased in the territory, it is still not safe and some young people are causing chaos."
"Yes, of course. The Mirror Division and I will coordinate everything. The boss can rest assured." Ensuring safety is the responsibility of law enforcement elder Wang Xiandao and the Mirror Division. He also stated in advance that he would handle the matter well.
"So good."
The two of them expressed their determination and attitude one after another, and Jiang Feng said no more. He and the two of them fell into the clouds one after another and returned to their respective homes. Accompanied by Jiang Hai and Wang Yi, Jiang Feng entered the head's inner palace and saw them immediately.
"Mrs." Su Jin.
Compared with the last time, Su Jin seemed to have slimmed down slightly, and her already thin and tall body looked even more outstanding.
"It's been a hard journey, Master." In front of everyone, Su Jin carefully saluted, thoughtful and dignified, not at all the domineering and casual attitude he had in the Jincheng Sect.
"Are they properly arranged?" Jiang Feng responded with a smile, turning to look at Wang Yi and Jiang Hai.
"Deacon Wang and Manager Jiang have arranged everything, and I am very satisfied with everything." Although she was left out in the Rolling Curtain Department, Su Jin did not feel that complaining here would have any good results.
"That's good. Have all the Six Divisions been there?"
"Reporting to the head, except for the Ceremony Department and the Curtain Department, I haven't been to the others yet." Su Jin replied timidly, pretending to be more like a docile lamb. If Jiang Feng hadn't learned something beforehand, he would probably have been
She cheated.
"Jiang Hai, Wang Yi, please take your wife to have a look. Please introduce the situation, personnel, and environment of each department, making sure to be detailed and comprehensive."
"Yes!" The two of them ordered, leading the way and taking Su Jin and the two accompanying maids away. When Jiang Feng saw Su Jin looking back, he casually nodded in response and waved his hand to signal her to follow his own arrangements.
After everyone left, Jiang Feng entered the secret room alone. Unexpectedly, no report had been submitted recently, so he was free for a while. The reason why he asked Su Jin to inspect the Sixth Division was actually to announce to everyone that this was indeed him.
The real wife who married from the Jincheng sect must maintain respect for her. This is an example and a prerequisite for promoting his preset plan.
It just seems to be sacrificing your own happiness.
Jiang Feng sighed, recalling Yi Gaotiao's back, it was not too bad. Taking advantage of Su Jin's break to inspect the Sixth Division, he sent Zhang Yang to call Shangguan Boliang who had just returned to Luochuan.
"Brother Bo Liang, how are you? Are you satisfied with what I have done?" Seeing that his face was slightly haggard, Jiang Feng asked about Wan Qing. Although he did not mention it directly, Jiang Feng knew that the other party understood what he was referring to.
"Thank you, Master Jiang, for your help." He was not too surprised by Jiang Feng's improvement in cultivation. He had seen many earth-level monks and was already calm about chaos. "I have seen Wan Qing. Things are different and people are different. It is difficult to
Going back to the past, I have thought about the past and will not be burdened by this matter again."
"Look forward." Jiang Feng couldn't find the right words to respond. He just said that since he had fulfilled his promise, the other party's labor costs for helping to build the small spiritual veins could be saved as agreed.
"The small spiritual veins in various places have been established. I will go back to Zhenwu City to arrange the trivial matters. I can turn around in a few days. For the subsequent arrangements, I hope Master Jiang can find someone to cooperate and help allocate that piece of land."
"Of course, you can just find Ding Baozhen from the Construction Department when the time comes, and I will make peace with him."
"Thank you!" Shangguan Boliang clasped his fists. The thirty third-level expenses, including the batch of flying magic weapons, were originally agreed to be paid next year, so he did not mention it. He is a man of his word.
After sending Shangguan Boliang away, Jiang Feng checked various documents reported by the six subordinate departments and found no major irregularities. He secretly thought to himself that it was quite reassuring that these people were doing things, and then he remembered Zheng Yiyu's previous report.
Come.
Zheng Yiyu's report was received in Beimu County. It included two things: First, Qiu Zhenzhen did not report that he was safe as promised, and his informant in Lelin City also lost contact. Xu was arrested and might even be in danger of his life.
Worry; secondly, Wu Tiande suspected of discovering the traces of Zhong Shan, the escaped Xuan-level monk, the lord of Ningta City and the head of the Zhong family in Tuqiao Town.
Regarding these two items, Jiang Feng originally felt nothing
There is a connection, but if you think about it carefully, Qiu Zhenzhen has helped the Zhong family pass on information before, and he has promised to hand over the transfer business of Tuqiao Town to the Zhong family. In other words, these two things may be somewhat related.
It can even be said that it may be caused by the same thing, that is, the lord of Lelin City, Leng Tingtao, who is now the head of the Lelin Sect, began to clean up the potential risks in the sect, and Qiu Zhenzhen was the first to be arrested.
His whereabouts had been exposed before, and Zhong Shan probably left in fear. Speaking of him being Leng Tingtao's brother-in-law, he should not be in danger of his life, so he fled in fear. From this point of view, he did not want to stay for a long time.
He is a disciple of others, perhaps with the idea of "restoring the sect".
How could it be that easy? Jiang Feng couldn't help but thought to himself.
The question is, what does Leng Tingtao want to do? Since he has already identified Qiu Zhenzhen as a spy and Xu is his wife who knows her situation, what is his intention when he asked her to meet in Tuqiao Town before?
What conditions do you want Qiu Zhenzhen to exchange with me, or is it just a courtesy to intimidate yourself, or both?
Jiang Feng didn't think this through clearly when he was in Beimu County, and now that he's back in Luochuan, he still hasn't thought about it clearly. However, this did not prevent him from making a decision in advance and ordered Zheng Yiyu to follow up quickly and coordinate with people from Donghu County in the south.
, and the Xuan-level monks within the sect who could contact him in time, captured Zhong Shan as soon as possible.
This is an operation that tests the company's rapid response capabilities.
When Jiang Feng returned to Luochuan, he had already learned from the law enforcement elder Wang Xiandao that Wu Quanzhong, the foreign affairs elder, Wei Ruoguang, the transfer elder who had just returned to the sect, Wang Yanzhi, the newly promoted Xuan-level monk, and Zhao Yun, the Xuan-level monk brought by Su Jin
Lei and Lu Tianming had already set off, and they felt much calmer, knowing that there was a high chance that this matter would succeed.
Su Jin was sensible and did not stop his subordinates from participating in the roundup organized by Zheng Yiyu. It seemed that he also tended to win-win cooperation in his heart. This was the reason why Jiang Feng immediately showed his sincerity and let him inspect the Sixth Division to correct his identity.
.
Showing sincerity to each other is a necessary warm-up for a deal to be concluded.
Thinking of this, he immediately understood the reason for Leng Tingtao's move. He just used another method to express his sincerity. In other words, Qiu Zhenzhen would probably not get into trouble, but he also needed to express his cooperation.
It’s just “sincerity”. The question is, what can you offer?
Zhong Shan’s life?
No, Jiang Feng immediately rejected the first idea that came up. It would be better to stay as this person who can bring some trouble to Leng Tingtao and even Su Liqing, but it depends on whether Zhong Shan can catch him and whether he can
Showing sincerity. There is something in the storage bag that may be of some use to Leng Tingtao, and may be an alternative.
Just as he was thinking about it, he was slightly inspired and took out the "Thousand-mile Yin-Yang Mirror". A few words appeared on it. Jiang Feng took out the manual and compared it, and the meaning of the words was already clear:
"The person has been captured and no one was injured."
good!
Jiang Feng took a deep breath and left the head's inner palace. He patrolled for a while until the sun turned and he saw several people flying from the south in the clouds in the distance. The leaders were Wei Ruoguang, the elder of Chuan Gong, and Zheng Yiyu, the deacon of the Mirror Division.
, a group of streamers behind them soon discovered three strangers, but judging from their cultivation and complexion, they should be Zhao Yunlei and Lu Tianming brought by Su Jin, while the other monk's spiritual power was obviously limited.
, with several spirit-sealing talismans affixed to his body, he must be the Lord of Ningta City, Zhong Shan, whom he has not yet met.
Jiang Feng smiled, and the pressure of the Earth Level was clearly revealed, which made many Xuan Levels in the door change their expressions. Everyone saluted, Jiang Feng ordered Wu Quanzhong and everyone to rest, leaving Wei Ruoguang and Zheng Yiyu alone, and brought the stern-faced Zhong Shan to
Wind and Rain Tower.
"Rare visitor!"
"Master Jiang, is this how you treat guests?" Zhong Shan's attitude was not good. Not long after he traveled south from Tuqiao Town, he was surrounded by five Xuan-level monks and nine Spirit-level monks, and had to
Capture him without hesitation.
"This is Leng Tingtao's intention. I think City Master Zhong blamed me wrongly." Leng Tingtao was not present, so Jiang Feng directly used him as an excuse, and he would not ask. Moreover, Jiang Feng also wanted to use this to judge the relationship between the two.
To what extent does the relationship reach?
"Lend me your hand?" Zhong Shan didn't look surprised at all.
"I didn't say it clearly, but I understand." Jiang Feng gave a specious answer.
"Make a deal and let me go."
"Do you have anything else you haven't brought with you?"
"That's not true, but there are some things that only have value if I explain them."
"Refreshing!" Jiang Feng didn't want to talk nonsense with him. In fact, when he arrested Zhong Shan, he originally wanted to make a deal with Leng Tingtao, but now he figured it out, it was better to keep him. He motioned to Wei Ruoguang who was standing aside.
, the latter tore off the spirit sealing talisman, but still looked at Zhong Shan warily, worried that he would escape midway.
"Don't worry," Zhong Shan turned to look at him, with an angry look on his face but he didn't dare to provoke. He must have suffered some secret losses from Wei Ruoguang during the arrest, "I believe that Master Jiang is not a person who goes back on his word."
"It depends on your sincerity."
Jiang Feng would not make any guarantee just because of his words. Apart from the previous cooperation, the two had no friendship. Moreover, now that he has left Ningta City, the originally agreed cooperation cannot continue. If he still wants to maintain Ningta City, he will not make any guarantees.
The city's business routes are open, so Jiang Feng can only choose Leng Tingtao as his new partner.
Zhong Shan did not refute, but took out a piece of withered yellow brocade cloth from the storage bag. There were outlines on it, which seemed to be a fragment of a picture. "This is a treasure map of an immortal cave. It is the head of Yanqiling."
The treasures passed down, Zhong Jun has always kept them
It was placed deep in the warehouse, and I got it by chance when the sect was destroyed."
Jiang Feng thought to himself, "What a coincidence." He must have taken advantage of the sect's chaos to ransack the warehouse. He stretched out his hand to take a picture of the broken picture, unfolded it, and drew outlines. He said it was a cave, but it was more like a road.
The detailed map of the secret passage, and some parts are missing, "Do you know where this cave is?"
"I don't know, otherwise I would have left long ago."
"I can't believe you." Jiang Feng put away the broken brocade map, "This is just a broken picture. Moreover, we may not be able to get involved in things like the Immortal Cave and the like."
"This..." Zhong Shan was stunned, thinking to himself, since you don't agree, then why don't you put it away.
"Since you have access to the large treasury, are the canonization documents of Yanqiling in your hands?"
Zhong Shan's face darkened and he explained, "Originally, it is, but it has been dedicated to Su Liqing." He made nonsense, thinking to himself that with the relationship between Jiang Feng and Su Liqing, there was no way to confirm it in person.
"Then trade with other valuable things and I will let you go. However, where do you want to go south?"
"To the south is naturally the Qing Yu Sect."
While Zhong Shan was answering, he was thinking about what else could impress the other party. In fact, the valuable things in the storage bag had already been secretly buried in a hidden place when he detected that someone was surrounding him.
, only for the purpose of carrying the treasure map with him, and the residual map that only he knew the use of, and he estimated that this residual map could be used to save his life, so he took it with him. However, the rogue Jiang Feng took the fragments of the treasure map, but did not
Recognize value.
"The Qing Yu Sect and the Jincheng League may have reached a cooperation. If you go, wouldn't you be throwing yourself into a trap?"
"This..." Zhong Shan seemed to have heard about this, and couldn't help but hesitate.
"How about I send you to Li Sect? I have a friend who is in need of helpers. Moreover, he has a distinguished status. Maybe he can help you a lot when you have the strength to reestablish the sect in the future."
"I have no such plan."
Huh, Jiang Feng couldn't help but smile in his heart. He didn't want to be put under house arrest by Leng Tingtao, fled to another sect, and didn't want to reestablish the sect. Could it be that you just hate Leng Tingtao as a person? However, Jiang Feng didn't bother to expose him, "How about it, my
Any suggestions?"
"I need time to think about it."
"You can consider it here. However, the sincerity I just mentioned still needs some." Jiang Feng looked at Zhong Shan. He knew that as a city lord, he had a suspected precious treasure map fragment in his hand, and he once had a canonized document.
It was impossible that he didn't have any assets in his hands. The reason why he was exploiting him like this was because he felt that if he wanted to show sincerity to Leng Tingtao, he would have to pay a sufficient price, and this price could only be paid by Zhong Shan at the moment.
In this transaction, there is no such thing as "evil and good". In short, the two have no friendship, and in the short term, there should be no possibility of further cooperation. However, his plan to "sell" Zhong Shan to Chu Yiming for a job does not follow.
A Xuan-level monk who is in a foreign land should be able to give him some help.
The expressions of Wei Ruoguang and Zheng Yiyu on the side also changed slightly. If they hadn't sensed the true aura of the leader, they would have suspected that the leader was someone else pretending to be the leader. Speaking of which, the leader who was usually gentle and kind-hearted looked a bit shameless today.
Zhong Shan obediently took out twenty third-level coins.
Jiang Feng did not take back his hand until Zhong Shan doubled the number and took out the spiritual stone again from a button-like magic weapon, raising the level of "sincerity" to thirty-two third-level stones.
Enough, this was enough to pay for Shangguan Boliang's batch of flying magic weapons, and it was more than the price he needed to redeem Qiu Zhenzhen. Jiang Feng happily stopped and handed the spirit stone to Wei Ruoguang, "Thirty
Put them into the treasury, and distribute two coins to all the monks involved in this matter."
"yes!"
Wei Ruoguang, who looked a little ugly and felt a little ashamed of the leader's behavior just now, finally came to his senses. It turned out that the leader meant this, and there was indeed some truth to the spirit stone he took!
Seeing Zheng Yiyu on the side, he couldn't help but feel a little happy. Could it be that I am too upright? With these thirty pieces in the warehouse, I think I will be able to pay for Shangguan Boliang's flying magic weapon next year. This spiritual stone will be paid for next year.
He knew it and also received a flying boat. Thinking about it, it was because of the sect that the leader became so bottomless.
"You have three days to think about it before I see Leng Tingtao."
Now that he has succeeded, Jiang Feng does not want to exploit the opponent too much. He believes that if he searches the opponent's entire body, the benefits will be greater. However, it will exceed his bottom line, and at the same time, he will have an old enemy with whom he cannot reconcile the relationship.
The so-called bottom line, once it is breached, will only get lower and lower until there is no bottom line. He does not want to die for money one day, but now that the sect is in trouble, it is common sense to be shameless. There is no hatred between the two, Jiang Feng thought to himself
There is no need to kill the goose to retrieve the eggs. For Zhong Shan, this may just be a "goose plucking feathers" move. Looking at his fake facial expression of pain, Jiang Feng also knew that this did not hurt his sore spot.
After sending Zhong Shan away and arranging him to live in the Mirror Division, Jiang Feng returned to the head's inner palace alone. The sky was getting dark, and soon he saw Su Jin returning in style accompanied by her maid.
With Jiang Feng's look, Su Jin stepped back, and Su Jin also returned to her previous cold nature. However, compared to before, her eyes were a little more humble, presumably because Jiang Feng had been promoted to the Earth level, the Spirit level,
Compared with the ground level, it is still far behind.
"How about we make a deal?"
Jiang Feng's eyes wandered away from Su Jin for a moment, and he put forward his own ideas first.
